[Kanagawa🇯🇵] Experience the beauty of Japanese architecture

Enoura Observatory is about a 10-minute shuttle bus ride from Nebukawa Station.
It was designed by contemporary artist Hiroshi Sugimoto and opened in 2017.

It's a beautiful museum, a place where history, contemporary art, and architecture blend together.

You'll be greeted by the Meigetsumon Gate at the entrance.
This was built as the main gate of Meigetsuin Temple in Kamakura during the Muromachi period, and was rebuilt here.
It was a lovely gate that blended in with nature.

Just inside the entrance was a glass-walled waiting room.
In the waiting room, there was a magnificent table made from a Yakusugi cedar tree that is over 1,000 years old 🪵

And there was a 100-meter gallery built 100 meters above sea level.
The glass walls reflect the ocean and surrounding scenery, making this a very beautiful gallery 🤍

It's worth a visit, not just for the art but also for the architecture.
